  1. It dawns on the Telegraph that giving up the multiple concessions the UK had enjoyed within the EU wasn’t a good idea. Expect someone in their editorial office has lost the keys to their bulging project fear filing cabinets.
  2. I don’t know why you would want photos but a search on line for news on the subject might help you out: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna713741
  3. So you dreaming up a grievance in somebody else’s behalf. I’m sure you do know some carers. I’ve expressed my opinion on the work vital work carers do and the under appreciation of their contribution elsewhere in the forum.
  4. The resettlement of the people the British forcibly removed from their homes. The cost of past abuses coming home to roost: “The agreement will allow a right of return for Chagossians, who the UK expelled from their homes in the 1960s and 1970s, in what has been described as a crime against humanity and one of the most shameful episodes of postwar colonialism.“ “The United Nations general assembly has overwhelmingly backed a motion condemning Britain’s occupation of the remote Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean. The 116-6 vote left the UK diplomatically isolated….” https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/may/22/uk-suffers-crushing-defeat-un-vote-chagos-islands https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/oct/03/britain-to-return-chagos-islands-to-mauritius-ending-years-of-dispute Take note of the use of links to substantiate my statements. Now let’s see you provide links to substantiate this claim of yours: Give it your best go.
  5. What Kier zipped back on Time to 2022 in order to set this all in motion as a distraction to a non issue? Your predictions of costing billions is baseless, but I think you knew that.
  6. What bit of “If the staff’s duties include helping their clients with their makeup and hair” do you not understand?
  7. Oh. So you want these old folk to live lives based on your opinion. If the staff’s duties include helping their clients with their makeup and hair why does it bother you which of the clients receive such help? It’s a very odd thing to be bothered by given the other very much less pleasant duties cares in old folks homes have to deal with.
  8. It’s the culmination of a process initiated in 2022. It’s also not a return of all islands: “However, there will be an exception for the key island of Diego Garcia, which is home to a joint UK-US military base, and which will remain under UK control.” As for asking the islanders what they want, that might have been a good idea from the start but back in 1968 the forced relocation of islanders from their home was colonial business as usual. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/oct/03/britain-to-return-chagos-islands-to-mauritius-ending-years-of-dispute
  9. Or maybe, just like Musk, he’s a perverted creep.
  10. And he’s nut’s, don’t forget the nuts part. A nutter funded as a spoiler candidate by the hyper wealthy and all in the best interests of ordinary working Americans.
  11. You are perhaps confused, it wasn’t Obama throwing ketchup at the walls.
  12. Just one of many examples of what you are missing: “Zoom out from trade and look at total business investment across the entire UK economy, and two things jump out: first, it suddenly stopped going up after the 2016 referendum; second, we have failed to see a vigorous bounce back from Covid. Post-lockdown and post-hard Brexit, business investment is 10 per cent down on 2019, and vastly down on where it would have been if pre-2016 expansion had continued. “ And let’s have another for good measure: “New report reveals UK economy is almost £140billion smaller because of Brexit” https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/politics/38650/the-true-economic-cost-of-brexit-is-finally-becoming-clear?gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAp9SDIs7REsUcp2tsaeBDXIP7zIXN&gclid=CjwKCAjwgfm3BhBeEiwAFfxrG42x9VIq5ZSL21l8l2ePWouIT5Wk0yC93orFOIRR5k5yMMEPF7ONYxoCPN0QAvD_BwE https://www.london.gov.uk/new-report-reveals-uk-economy-almost-ps140billion-smaller-because-brexit
  13. UK exporters were not subject to any of it before Brexit. And no not to control revenue, to control quality and level field of trading across the world’s largest developed integrated market.
  14. More important than fixing the UK’s relationship with its closest and most important trading partner?
  15. So not a will of the people type after all.
  16. Used to mention it frequently. So used to. Getting old sucks, but it beats the alternative. Do you agree that if a majority of citizens wish to rejoin the EU then the Government should act in that and negotiate the UK’s return to the EU?
  17. Sorry is it a subject that troubles you? It’s not something I mention often so maybe a bit of sensitivity on your part.
  18. That was the case for many years as people became much better off as they aged, the affordable home they bought when young went up in value, their incomes rose, their company pensions grew and the day of the payout grew closer. All stuff that is increasingly out of reach or simply no longer available to you g people today.
  19. If ordinary working class Americans are competing against immigrants from South America they have more problems than immigrants. Multinational farms, multinational yards, multinational laundries, multinational car detailers. Get up early in any town or city across America and you’ll see immigrants on their way to work, often hours before most folk start their jobs.
  20. Not in the world of Americans picking up cheap agricultural produce at the super market, getting their yard work done, picking up their laundry, getting their car detailed, consuming any of the vast number of goods and services that Immigrants work to provide at a cost Americans want to pay.
